The relationship between rational numbers and whole numbers is that every whole number can be represented as a rational number, but not every rational number can be represented as a whole number.
All whole numbers can be expressed as rational numbers because rational numbers are any numbers that can be written as a fraction, where the numerator and denominator are both integers. Whole numbers can be represented as fractions with a denominator of 1. For example, the whole number 5 can be written as the rational number 5/1.
On the other hand, not all rational numbers are whole numbers. Rational numbers include both integers (which include whole numbers) and fractions (which do not include whole numbers). For example, the rational number 3/2 cannot be expressed as a whole number because it represents a fraction that is between 1 and 2.
To summarize, while all whole numbers are rational numbers, not all rational numbers are whole numbers.
